All I'm saying is that what is being asked for is worth more than 3%.
This is not about our qualifications or the type of aircraft I work on or the "full service" accountabilities.
Why are we confusing this? I'm not saying that we are worth more but what we are asked for has a significant dollar figure attached to it. We are trading productivity which delivers significant savings to our parent company.
I'm hoping that the appropriate figures are presented to show that this is indeed what is fair and transparent.
I'm all for the success of the airline as the next person. I cannot however think that I should "gift" my conditions because another work group has been unsuccessful at maintaining a balance of work and lifestyle in previous negotiations. Were they happy with what they traded? I feel for them but their conditions were accepted under unique conditions to their situation and not ours.
